Please don't shed any crocodile tears But I've been dead for fifteen years Folks say zombies aren't "really" real Yet I walk and talk, and NEVER feel I wish I could give a notable excuse But it's all the fruition of self-abuse So make your life the most it can be Or wind up in the walking dead ranks ... Like me.

I need to tape this to a box of my cigarettes. It would work very well for me. Greg, I really enjoy your rhymes.

LOL - Oh, if I could help another stop smoking with a poem - what a joy that would be! I smoked for 42 years and finally quit. I'm so pleased you enjoy my rhymes, Janis - I know everyone loves Free Verse these days, but I shall ALWAYS prefer good rhyming! Blessings, friend! <3

Fair Eidolon, clever pen. I do know those lowest times are when feeling nothing; that even pain is better. Fave. Hug. mo.

Thank you, Maureen ... few know it, but this is a bio ... I have been dead for years, going through the motions. I pray it's not too late, I'm going to give it one more try. Blessings, Friend. <3
